Subscribing to an RSS news feed.
RSS stands for "really simple syndication". A system that allows people to send information to the web without the need to deliver a specific email address.
Content of blogs and Web sites are often sent via an RSS feed by ordinary Web users.
You will see a small button like these somewhere on their page:
among thousands of others.
These are all the same thing. These Buttons are known by many names but the common name for it is the "RSS data port station" or "RSS chicklet". If the owner or owners of the web content deliver their blog by RSS information, they generally have installed such a small button. Generally it has very little information associated. If you click often nothing will happen or a blank page will open or you will be returned to the top of the page or you will see an unintelligible list of data THIS IS NORMAL & EXPECTED. If you right-click the button however, and then copy and subsequently paste the contents to Notepad or another word processor, you will see an internet address or URL: {www.krooclub.com/more-blog information has such an RSS address: example: http://www.krooclub.com/more-blog.rss}.
So the next question; How do I read this RSS feed?
